WHEN IS A GOOD TIME TO BEGIN THE COLLEGE ADMISSION PROCESS?

As soon as you start thinking about college!

I work with students as early as 8th grade, helping lay the groundwork for college planning. Many students who have an academic plan in place start with me in 11th grade. I counsel 12th grade students on the nitty gritty of college applications.

Once you are ready to take ownership of the process, I help chart out a roadmap for your personal college admissions plan. Call me to book an initial consultation or complete the contact form to get started.

DO I REALLY NEED AN EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANT?

College applications have become increasingly complex over the years. Acceptance rates have declined as the number of competitive applicants continues to rise. Each college has a different set of priorities, deadlines, and admission requirements, which often change from year to year.

2020 saw sweeping changes in school policies because of the pandemic, and the transition from in-person to virtual learning platforms led to unpredictable situations, catching many families by surprise.

An expert college consultant is professionally trained, widely networked with college professionals, and has personally visited university campuses to bring the latest information on college admissions. The consultant dispels misinformation, and most importantly recommends strategic options that help students find the best academic, financial and social fit.
